Crimea, where they We're Joined by the Turks,
and the tedious siege of Sebastopol began.
The battles of Balaklava and Inkernnann and
the wonderful -charge of the Light Brigade
were incidents of this war. The sufferings Of
the British troops and the general inefficiency
of the commissary department showed that the
sinews of British war administration had been
relaxed by the long peace since Waterloo
called peace because they had no wars with
other than half civilized peoples. In this war
Florence Nightingale began the system Of
nurse and sanitary organization which Is
such pleasing feature Of recent wars. Peace
was made by the treaty of Paris March 30,
1856; but all the settlements made in it have
been unsettled by subsequent events.
In 1857 the Sepoys, native troops in the
British service, rebelled in India and massa-
cred many hundred English, including women
and children They were subdued and pun
ished with extreme severity. In 1855 began
another war with China: the French and
British fleets bombarded Canton; the Chinese
made trade concessions to both nations and
have since maintained ministers at the courts
Of other countries. In 1858 Japan granted
the rights Of trade in her port to Great
Britain, and after that to other ma
tons. In 1861 the American civil
war began, and the failure of the cotton sup

Trouble Ahead.

When the appetite fails, and sleep grows
restless and unrefreshipg, there Is trouble
ahead. The digestive organs, when healthy,
crave food, the nervous system, when
vigorous and tranquil, gives its po-sessor
no uueasiness st night. A tonic, to be
effective, should not be mere appetizer,
nor are the nerves to be strengthened and
soothed by the unaided action Of soda
tive or = narcotic. What Is required is
medicine which invigoraies the stomach,
and promotes assimilation of food BY the
system, by which means the nervous sys-
TEN, As well as other parts of the physical
organism, are strengthened. These are
the effects OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
